Often I buy a really cool holster and then become inspired to find the gun.This week my friend called me and said"I found your Femaru" and he was right.Here she is a jhv 41 P. Mod.37 kal 7,65
Did you notice the dropping holster,an added bonus .The pistol came as a complete rig.
Say it aint so,capture papers too?Oh yeah!!
History:Still's Axis Pistols Vol.II,pg 125
"In 1941, the Luftwaffe,through the German Army Acceptance Office ( Heereswaffenampt) placed an order for 50,000 Model 1937 Femaru in caliber 7.65mm and with a manual safety."
"Most of the jhv 41 variation M37 went to the Luftwaffe.All reported M37 holsters bear Luftwaffe acceptance stamps;"
Both my holsters have the Luftwaffe acceptance stamps
Very nice gun and leather!
Thank you very much for showing.

Very nice pistol and holsters. Not one we see over here in the UK very often. What are they like to shoot?
Thanks for showing it.
Cheers, Ade.
Great looking M37.. You really gotta love these little Hungarian pistols...BILL

It looks really well made and at first glance it looks almost like a 9mm, the extended mag being the big giveaway.
Cheers, Ade.
